Adding a Family > Addresses

Addresses are entered using one or more of the tab pages in the Address section in the Family data area of the Enter/Modify/Delete Names dialog.

There are 4 types of addresses available for use:

•Residence Address. Use the fields on the Residence Address tab page if this is the only address you need to enter for a family or if it represents the physical address of the family. If there is no information on the Mail Address tab page, CMD will use the Residence Address for the mailing address as well.

•Mail Address. Use the fields on the Mail Address tab page only if a family uses an address other than their physical address at which to receive their mail. If it would be the same address as the Residence Address, leave the Mail Address fields blank.

•Alternate Address. Used for families who spend part of their year in a different location.

•International Address. CMD's addresses are designed for use in the U.S. and Canada. If the address for a given family does not easily or appropriately fit the fields provided for addresses, you can use the International Address tab page to enter an address in free form so that it will be properly formatted for the country of the family.

The Address Settings tab page allows you to set three important fields that affect the way CMD works with addresses: which address is to be used for the family directory, the country's address format, and whether or not you wish to track address and home phone changes in a separate file.
